Schuster expecting negative Real

Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster believes Jose Mourinho will employ defensive tactics in El Clasico this weekend.

The two giants of Spanish football are set to clash at the Nou Camp with Barca four points behind the capital outfit and needing to win to have any real chance of retaining their La Liga title. Pep Guardiola's side have closed the gap from 10 points to within touching distance and they are in superb form, although they will have to bounce back from a Champions League defeat to Chelsea. But Real were also on the wrong end of a European result in the week, losing 2-1 to Bayern Munich. But all the attention will be on domestic affairs on Saturday and Schuster is adamant that Mourinho will take no risks in his formation or tactics. "I do not see Mourinho trying to win, he will not take risks," he said. "He has never done that in matches like this. Losing the Liga like this would be disastrous."
